on the handlebars is the 'head unit' and hanging off the rear ...uhh.... rack is the speakers. I drew arrows to show the speaker wire.

**edit** the plastic bag likely has a battery in it. I know its bizarre but i've seen dudes in Detroit do this kinda stuff...one guy carries the head unit and the battery and his two friends each walk with a speaker and they just walk down the sidewalk bumpin beats.

my first "tallbike" was built this way. i had never actually seen another tallbike before, and was just tooling around with parts, and switched out the cranks, headset, and rear wheel, and then used multiple sets of handlebars and stems and tubing to get some handlebars up high. you rode it standing up. imagine this dude's bike, but with big huge apehangers. mine was a wobbly-ass piece of crap. i wish i had a picture, that thing was rad.

no, it makes it steeper. think about where the front axle now is in relation to
where it would be if the bike were assembled normally. plus it's upside down, so that pushes it even more forward. fork rake just makes it more interesting.
